The countdown is finally over, and the all-new TurtleTrek is NOW OPEN!

Currently, I help supervise the Animal Ambassador Team (AAT) at SeaWorld Orlando. This is an area of the training department that many of you may not realize exists, but you’ve probably seen in action. You may have interacted with the animals at the SeaGarden, attend a school where we’ve made an educational visit, or seen animals on one of our many appearances on TV.

Before performing live at SeaWorld Orlando’s Viva la Musica this past Saturday, Latin Grammy Award Winner singer Elvis Crespo unexpectedly met two fans from SeaWorld’s sea lion and otter show, Captain Squid and Clyde, a California sea lion.

Take an insider's look at how SeaWorld Orlando returns a rehabilitated sea turtle back into its natural environment. Learn from turtle expert, Dan Conklin, what this sub-adult loggerhead suffered from and how SeaWorld prepared it for its return and how you, too, can help save turtles.

Can’t get enough of the SeaWorld parks? We’re excited to announce that SeaWorld is now on Pinterest – a photo and video sharing social website and virtual pinboard where users are able to “pin” images of interest to them onto categorized boards they’ve createdso their friends can see.

Curious how SeaWorld Orlando is creating the world’s first 3D 360 dome theater experience at TurtleTrek?

You may remember that just a few weeks ago our SeaWorld animal care team received a 100-pound loggerhead turtle that swallowed a 4 inch-long fishing hook. The animal arrived at SeaWorld Orlando February 26 and immediately underwent surgery following x-rays and blood work procedures. Our vet removed the hook, and after a speedy recovery, we released the turtle home this morning just south of Cocoa Beach, FL.

The SeaWorld Orlando Community Relations department along with SeaWorld Orlando’s character team recently visited Nemours Clinic in Orlando, Fla. to share lots of smiles, hugs and hive fives with hospitalized children and their families.

This is the last weekend of Bands, Brew & BBQ at SeaWorld Orlando, and they say we've saved the best for last! Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to slide to the beat while enjoying this amazing festival.
